Huggins Deals Halifax 7-1 Setback
Josh Huggins was superb against Halifax. The left-hander had a fastball that was virtually unhittable at times. The result was a Royals victory. The score was 7-1. With the win, Cincinnati raised its record to 84-54.

Huggins gave Cincinnati a blue-ribbon performance. The 6-foot-7 left-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits over 8 innings of work.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Huggins said.
